Back-testing results indicate limitations in evaluating multi-ticker portfolio strategies within current platforms. Users testing daily rebalancing of 500-stock portfolios face constraints due to the absence of a multi-ticker simulator. Alternative approaches include testing single securities or using index proxies to approximate performance, though these methods may not fully replicate the intended strategy.
